"The day will be the most memorable in America.

I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival...it ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade...bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this day forward, forevermore."
-John Adams, in a letter to his wife after the Continental Congress decided to proclaim the American colonies independent from Britain.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Paraben-Free: Why Does it Matter?

Last week we introduced our

Paraben-Free Moisturizer.

Paraben-Free.

Why does it matter?

What's a paraben anyway?

Parabens are petroleum-based preservatives.

They're commonly used in cosmetics and personal care items.

Read a shampoo bottle and you'll probably find parabens in the ingredient list:

methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben to name a few.

Thanks to parabens,

your shampoo, lotion and deodorant will last for years.

They're also entering your body when you use these products.

Research has shown that your body may absorb as much as

five pounds of cosmetic chemicals each year.

Check your facial cream and moisturizer labels.

See any parabens there?

When the moisturizer is absorbed into your skin,

so are the parabens.

When the parabens enter your bloodstream,

they mimic estrogen,

sometimes causing hormonal imbalance.

Parabens also commonly cause allergic reactions

and contact dermatitis.

We are delighted to offer you an alternative

to lotions and moisturizers with chemical preservatives.

Try our Paraben-Free Moisturizer!

Paraben-Free Moisturizer

comes in an airless pump container,

so there's absolutely no waste--

no moisturizer left in the bottle to be thrown away!

You'll enjoy every drop of this moisturizer!

Introducing... Paraben-Free Moisturizer

 

Introducing our newest product:

"I have very sensitive skin, and this moisturizer is great for me."

 

"I've had dry skin on my arm for several days.

Nothing I've tried has helped.

This moisturizer made a difference after just one application!"

 

"Oooh! It feels great!"
